5.6 - AIContinuous
After receiving a continuous AI command, the LabJack collects 4 channels at a sample rate determined by AIINT ( Analog Input
Interval ) which is the interval between samples in cycles. The data is put in the buffer as it it is sampled. Simultaneously, the
LabJack pulls data out of the buffer and tries to send it to the host. This continues until the LabJack receives any command from
the host. If a command is received the continuous operation is canceled and the command is executed normally. If the LED is
enabled, it toggles every 40 samples during acquisition and is set on when stopped.
